Description

Season 2 finds Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Philip (Matthew Rhys) struggling
to connect with their children, whose American lives are vastly different from
their own experiences growing up in the Soviet Union. They're also scared that
their spy work will come back to haunt their family—fears that become
terrifyingly real when another KGB couple and their daughter are found executed
in a hotel room. Elsewhere, troubled G-man Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) is
targeted by the Soviets, who plan to use his affair with Nina (Annet Mahendru)
to turn him into a double agent.

Reviews

“We know how the Cold War turned out, but as viewers, we're far less
certain as to the fates of these characters who may lack our knowledge, but
understand full well the potential cost of the games without frontiers they're
playing at.” – ScreenRant

“The Americans is a pretty fascinating look at morality and doing the
right thing – or certainly what you believe to be the right thing – from a
side we don't usually follow.” – IGN Movies

“Credit Weisberg and Fields for nailing down season two of The
Americans right from the start, by picking up where the story left off and
making sure that this spy-vs.-spy thing has real-life costs.” –
